Semi-Permanent Makeup
Lip Touch-Up
A touch-up 2–3 months after your initial treatment is the essential step to perfecting your lip color.
A Lip Touch-Up at Sambrow is the maintenance session performed two to three months after your initial Tokyo Lip Blush or lip liner treatment — the essential step that locks in saturation, evens any patchy retention, and confirms your final lip shade. Lips heal differently from brow or eyeliner skin: pigment can soften by 30 to 50 percent in the first weeks, and final tone only stabilizes once the lip has fully regenerated. The touch-up rebalances colour and adjusts shape now that the healed result is visible. Each appointment runs 2.5 hours and begins with a full-body lymphatic massage — a foundational Japanese skincare principle that prepares circulation before facial work. With a completed touch-up, lips typically hold colour for two to three years. Bookings are bilingual (English and Mandarin Chinese) at Sambrow's Markham, Ontario studio (280 Shields Ct Unit A).
Why Do You Need a Touch-Up?
The lips are one of the most color-prone areas in semi-permanent makeup. A touch-up refines, reinforces, and optimizes your results for longer-lasting, natural beauty.
Touch-up can:
- 01 Boost color saturation
- 02 Correct any uneven fading from the first session
- 03 Refine and clean up the lip border
- 04 Extend the results to 1–2 years
- 05 Ensure even, consistent color with no patchiness
